WR12AF/V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WR12AF/V is a rocker switch manufactured by NKK Switches, classified as SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) with a 15A rating at 125V AC. This panel-mount, snap-in switch features a concave black actuator and quick-connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination. The WR12AF/V is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and system continuity in applications requiring SPDT switching functionality at specified voltage and current ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the WR12AF/V is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Circuit configuration (SPDT)
• Switch function (On-On)
• Current rating (15A AC/DC)
• Voltage ratings (125V AC, 30V DC)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
• Actuator type and color (Concave, Black)
• Termination style (Quick Connect - 0.250")
• Panel cutout dimensions (Rectangular - 34.20mm x 17.20mm)
• Ingress protection rating (IP67)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C)
• Mechanical and electrical life specifications

The substitute part WR12AF meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, providing continuity for applications currently using the obsolete WR12AF/V.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The WR12AF serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete WR12AF/V. Both parts are manufactured by NKK Switches and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications. The WR12AF is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new designs and replacement applications.

The WR12AF provides additional compliance documentation: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Both parts carry EN and UL approvals, meeting the same regulatory requirements. The transition from WR12AF/V to WR12AF presents no functional or compatibility concerns for applications requiring SPDT switching at 15A, 125V AC operation with IP67 environmental protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WR12AF directly replace WR12AF/V in existing applications? A: Yes. The WR12AF is electrically and mechanically identical to the WR12AF/V across all specified parameters, including circuit configuration, current and voltage ratings, mounting dimensions, and termination style.

Q: What is the difference between WR12AF/V and WR12AF? A: The primary difference is product status. WR12AF/V is obsolete, while WR12AF is active. The WR12AF also includes documented ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. All electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are the panel cutout dimensions identical? A: Yes. Both parts require a rectangular panel cutout of 34.20mm x 17.20mm, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility in existing panel installations.

Q: Do both parts use the same termination connectors? A: Yes. Both WR12AF/V and WR12AF use Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm) termination, allowing direct wire harness compatibility.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these switches? A: Both parts operate across -25°C to 85°C, with mechanical life rated at 30,000 cycles and electrical life at 15,000 cycles.

Q: Are regulatory approvals the same? A: Yes. Both parts carry EN and UL approvals. The WR12AF additionally documents ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.
